Hey Game Fans, we’re back with the second part of our series on Backgrounds for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.  Today we’re going to take a hard look at the Acolyte and the Charlatan Backgrounds and how they affect your character’s background and possible development as you level up.  First up, we have the Acolyte, and then we’ll conclude with the Charlatan.  

Backgrounds for Dungeons and Dragons

Hey Game Fans, today we’re going to start/continue our discussion about the Backgrounds for character building in Dungeons and Dragons, 5th edition.  Basically, these are designed to cover the period of time between your character’s birth and when they started their career as an adventurer.  There are a lot of interesting options, but there’s also the option to build your own background out of combining the traits from other backgrounds together in an interesting casserole of deliciousness.

 

Hargq's Barq (Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition)

The mystery of lost Hargq’s Barq (A campaign background piece for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition)

Hargq’s Barq is a rumored dwarven settlement somewhere in the northern half of Faerun.  Allegedly settled by Dwarves after their original settlement in the mountains of Yehimal, Hargq’s Barq is a sticking point for dwarven historians for two principal reasons.  Firstly, it was settled in secrecy at the time, with few interactions with other dwarven realms.  Indeed, many times a dwarf would simply disappear from their home settlement, disappearing from their own lives among their clan holdings and eventually fading from their clan histories.
